UL seems to have a bit of a stellar reputation, and it might be helpful to the reader to understand;
== UL is not a government organization or anything like that
== UL is a for-profit corporation
== UL is one of 18 corporations who perform product safety testing

Insurance companies will presumably want various equipment on the insured property to be “product safety tested” by one of these 18 corporations – not just UL. The particular insurance policy will presumably stipulate this. Presumably the policy will also stipulate contract clauses for the possibility of claims made when there is non-safety-tested equipment.

So are the smart-meters product safety tested by one of the 18 testing corporations?

There is no intention to frustrate you. The safety testing certification is really only the business of the manufacturer.

Even if an answer were offered here today, it might not be true tomorrow.

PLEASE do your own research on the specific model smart-meter, with the manufacturer.

—– Are the smart-meters OSHA approved ?

While OSHA does not approve or endorse products, there are a small number of products which if used in a workplace do require approval before being acceptable to OSHA.

Keep in mind that OSHA does not address the general public sector. The first word in OSHA is “Occupational”, meaning they address the needs and environments of workers, only.

—– What is difference between “Smart-Meters” and “Digital Meters” ?

As it is understood now;

== a Smart Meter is a digital electronic metering device that has a 2-way data radio that allows the meter to receive requests from some up-stream controller or relay device and to transmit metering and other data to same.

Since this is an electronic device it requires an internal power supply. The type of power supply used is a “switching” power supply which creates noise/interference on the power lines. This noise/interference is referred-to as Dirty Electricity (DE). The DE flows into the property (like a home) and circulates on all of the power circuits. This DE radiates Electric fields and Magnetic fields into the internal spaces and will induce currents and voltages into human physiology. Technical experts have measured this effect of DE from smart-meter power supplies.

== a Digital Meter is a digital electronic metering device. Unlike the old analog meters that have dials on them, these Digital Meters have digital readouts.

There is a core group who has organized and pushed this effort forward, Lisa, Kathy, Jennifer, Janet, myself and many other dear, dear souls.

We have spent many 100’s of hours – each of us – on this, from early in the morning to late at night. We are exhausted. And the end is not in sight!

No one is paying us to do this.

Indeed, it has forced most or all of us, to substantially increase credit card debt, since we are not occupied in work that actually pays us. We are working for you, for free.
And when was the last time, any of you bought us a lunch?
(Actually we buy each other lunches LOL)

We have people who literally demand information from us, and want us to repeat what we have already said, posted and promulgated, because they refuse to read that information and are not the slightest bit inspired to do their own research, think for themselves and draw their own conclusions.
They treat us like we are paid government employees and they are the deserving citizens who demand this and that. It is unbelievable – really.

And then we are forced to deal with the attacks on the Wisconsin data, and I am biting my tongue on that one !

Understand clearly, that if we stop working on this, Fairfield Iowa will descend into a deep electro-smog. Yes, far more than it is now. Forget the often-repeated meaningless rhetoric, “well everybody has cell phones and WiFi”. It will be dramatically different if Smart-Meters are deployed.

Understand as well, the next wave of EMF assault is 5G. It will again, increase dramatically, the electro-smog. But if we successfully turn away Smart-Meters, it sets an important precedent for turning away 5G. Just my opinion…

To everyone I say; have you listened to Dr. Martin Pall? Link to his interview is on this blog page. There is no excuse to have not listened to Dr. Martin Pall. Listen to it. Believe it or don’t believe it. Decide for yourself, what action to take. Or just be lazy, complacent and a sheep of the Earth.

I do want to acknowledge the kind and appreciative individuals who have expressed their heart felt appreciation for this work. You know who you are and we know who you are (big smile). Your words and your Love are very much felt and very much appreciated by us. And it is OK that you are in the minority, because your Love is Infinite !

Just a reminder that all of these kinds of articles include opinions of the author.

Hi Robert, Thanks for your intelligent summary of dangers associated with digital “smart meters” and pulsed EMF sources and devices. Your recommendation to see Dr. Martin Paul’s interview by Dr. Mercola is essential for anyone who wants to understand the full magnitude of danger we are facing with these issues!

Robert, great to see an enlightened engineer. One who knows not just engineering, but one who is acutely aware – well informed – of the biological effects of electronic engineering. Today’s engineers are aggressively and creatively pushing the envelope in their design of myriad electronic devices. But they are not aware – or ignore – the solid science about electromagnetic radiation and its negative impacts on human biology. Through your white paper and advocacy work you are shining a bright light on this very important health issue.
